Meghan Markle’s Culinary Dreams: A Show in Limbo

Meghan Markle has reportedly completed filming her much-anticipated cooking and home show, but fans may have to wait a while longer for it to hit the screens.

As of now, Netflix has yet to approve the show for release, leaving its air date uncertain.

A source close to the project shared with the Daily Beast that everything went smoothly during filming and that the project is ready to roll out.

Meghan has previously expressed her excitement about the show, which aims to highlight the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and fostering friendships.

However, not all is well behind the scenes.

Rumors of tension have surfaced, suggesting that some staff members have already departed from the production.

Insiders indicate that Meghan and Prince Harry’s growing demands and their perceived royal attitudes may be contributing to this turnover.

Neil Sean, reporting from the set, noted a shift in the couple’s demeanor.

Despite their earlier intentions to downplay titles, it seems they are embracing a more formal approach.

Staff have observed that Harry prefers to be addressed as “Sir,” while Meghan initially requires formal address until she grants permission to use her first name.

Recently, a TikTok user spotted Meghan filming at a park in Beverly Hills.

While some speculated that this sighting indicated additional footage was needed, insiders believe the scene was unrelated to the main filming, as the required content had already been completed.

For Meghan, this cooking show represents a significant opportunity to carve out a niche for herself as a lifestyle expert, akin to figures like Martha Stewart or Gwyneth Paltrow.

This project is especially vital for Meghan, given her mixed track record with previous ventures.

One notable initiative was the 40×40 program launched on her 40th birthday in 2021, where she invited 40 friends to mentor individuals re-entering the workforce after the pandemic.

However, despite the initial excitement, there have been no updates or tangible outcomes, leading critics to question its viability.

Attempts to get comments from Meghan’s team regarding the program have gone unanswered.

This pattern of ambitious announcements followed by minimal follow-through has become a hallmark of Meghan and Harry’s post-royal journey.

Their departure from royal duties was accompanied by grand aspirations for a semi-private royal life, which ultimately fell flat due to lack of approval from the royal family.

Their plans included retaining their HRH titles and using the word “royal” in their branding, both of which were denied.

The pandemic further complicated their efforts, halting many planned projects.

Their deal with Spotify, for instance, produced very little content that garnered significant interest.

Similarly, their Netflix output has been limited, with the exception of the Harry and Meghan documentary.

The couple’s latest venture, American Rivera Orchard, has also faced hurdles.

Despite a robust social media presence for ARO Jam, products have yet to hit the shelves, leaving eager consumers frustrated.

PR consultant Mark Bukowski weighed in on Meghan’s business endeavors, stressing the need for her to generate actual revenue.

He pointed out that the success of the new cooking show is crucial, especially since she’s represented by a powerful talent agency.

If Meghan can adapt to this new role as a lifestyle guru, it could mark a refreshing turn in her career, he suggested.

However, he warned that another misstep could force her to pivot towards younger audiences.

Regardless of what happens next, Meghan’s projects continue to draw significant public interest.

Bukowski noted that her ability to captivate the public ensures that opportunities for collaboration will always be within reach.
